Brooke’s Bio

I have been a nanny in private homes for 10 years. I have also worked with children as a teacher in Spain, a camp counselor, and while serving in an orphanage in Guatemala. I absolutely love children and enjoy being a positive role model in their lives. I not only understand child development through hands on experience, but I also have studied it extensively at the collegiate and graduate level. I have my BS in Psychology and a Masters in clinical psychology with an emphasis on family and child development. I work for a family full-time but like to supplement my income with occasional babysitting. I have extensive experience with newborns and toddlers, as well as all other age ranges. I have cared for children ranging from 2 weeks old to 16 years old and have a great resume/references.

I have a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge, but most important to me is talking with the parents and getting on the same page in terms of child rearing. It is your child, after all! I am happy to provide input and know what I'm doing, but at the end if the day I am here to be an extension of you and greatly respect what that means and what that role entails.
